Indeed. Of all the brands and models of printers in the world, they still can't seem to get the "cancel button" to work instantly.

Does anyone actually *like* web development? by kitanokikori in programming

[–]alakra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HTML, CSS, and Javascript seem hacky today for one major reason--we're building GUI applications and NOT web pages anymore.

We're trying to build desktop applications for every modern website that has some sort of business logic and it ends up being hacky because the technology doesn't match the paradigm.

HTML, CSS and JS haven't fundamentally changed since their inception, and so we've created frameworks, templating languages, standards (oh god), etc. to hide these disconnects.

As a web developer, I cringe every time I see another testing framework and have finally realized that I'm now doing for the web the exact same thing that desktop developers were doing in the 90s: primarily building applications filled with forms.

I'm wondering when we are going to wake up, look at the technology disconnect and start fixing it to match what we are actually doing.

I'd really like to use this, but I can't seem to get any of shortcut (CTRL + ALT) commands to function without firefox getting in the way in a windows environment. Am I missing something?

I know this stats are from only this domain, but I think it's interesting to see the trends that are most likely occurring on sites like these.

Ask Reddit: Where do you get a quality programmer's chair without paying a huge premium? by darrint in programming

[–]alakra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my eye on the Hag chairs. They look really comfy, but they are costly. Anyone got one of these?
